Looks Like Paint Protects Like Armor!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 26+ Years Experience With Same Team & Ownership!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "25+ Years of real-world proof right on Lake Michigan!"
"I've lived in my home for more than 55 years, and I used to have to scrape and paint my cedar siding every 3 to 5 years. One side of my house faces right toward Lake Michigan, so it gets hammered by some of the absolute harshest weather conditions year-round. Over 25 years ago, I decided to break the painting cycle and invest in Home Shield Coating. I looked at several other companies at the time—many of which are out of business today—but Home Shield's reputation stood out. More than two decades later, it has completely saved me a fortune in maintenance, survived intense winters, and proved it really is a permanent solution built to last."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The absolute best solution for wood siding."
"We have a cedar-sided home that was constantly peeling and absorbing moisture, and I was terrified of what it would cost to keep maintaining it. When the team applied the pink bonding primer, I knew this wasn't just another coat of regular paint. The final topcoat completely transformed the wood. It looks beautifully rich, completely sealed, and I love that we never have to paint it again."
— Heidi R. (Watch Video Below)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Incredibly professional and built to last."
"We wanted a permanent solution for our Hardie Board siding because we were tired of hiring painters every few years. Home Shield Coating explained their multi-step sealing process step-by-step and executed it perfectly. The application is completely uniform, thick, and looks fantastic. They are true professionals who treat your property with respect."

30-Year Transferable Warranty • Since 1999 • Built for Lake and McHenry County Weather
Peeling stain, recurring cedar rot, chalky aluminum and failed siding joints are not fixed by simply changing the color. Illinois homeowners call us when repainting has failed again, several quotes do not address the underlying damage, or replacement costs are far higher than expected.
Our process starts with an exterior inspection and written scope. We clean the surface, replace unsuitable cedar where included, test moisture, prime as required and apply the coating system in the correct sequence for Lake and McHenry County weather.
Illinois services include:
• Permanent wall coating for compatible siding, masonry and stucco
• Cedar siding preparation, suitable board replacement and coating
• Aluminum siding painting with chalk and oxidation removal
• Hardie board, fiber-cement, stucco and Dryvit coating
• Protective roof coating for qualifying surfaces
• Epoxy garage and commercial floor coating
• Seamless gutters and downspouts
• Hotel and commercial exterior painting and coating

Chicagoland’s Premier Gutter Replacement Experts
Having the correct size gutters on a home in Illinois is crucial for several reasons, especially considering the state’s diverse weather conditions ranging from heavy rainfalls to snowstorms. The right gutters play a pivotal role in directing water away from your home, thereby protecting its structural integrity. Here’s where Fast Flow Gutters® by Home Shield offer significant benefits:
1. Enhanced Water Management: Illinois weather can bring intense storms and heavy rainfall. Our 6” Fast Flow Gutters® with 3×4 downspouts are designed to handle a higher volume of water compared to standard-sized gutters. This increased capacity is essential in preventing overflow, which is a common problem during heavy downpours.
2. Prevention of Wood Rot and Siding Damage: Water spilling over from undersized or clogged gutters can lead to water infiltrating your home’s siding and exterior walls. Over time, this moisture can cause wood rot, a serious issue that weakens the structural integrity of your home. The larger capacity of Fast Flow Gutters® ensures that water is efficiently channeled away, minimizing the risk of such damage.
3. Foundation Protection: One of the most significant threats to any home is foundation damage, often caused by improper water drainage. Water pooling around the foundation can lead to cracks and structural weaknesses. Fast Flow Gutters®, with their enhanced capacity, effectively direct water away from the foundation, greatly reducing the risk of costly foundation repairs.
4. Preventing Basement Water Intrusion: Basements in Illinois homes are particularly susceptible to water intrusion during heavy rainfall. This can lead to flooding, mold growth, and other moisture-related problems. The combination of 6” gutters and 3×4 oversized downspouts on Fast Flow Gutters® ensures a swift and efficient removal of water, drastically reducing the chances of basement water issues.
5. Durability in Harsh Weather Conditions: Illinois’ weather can be harsh, and gutters need to withstand not just water but also the weight of snow and ice. Fast Flow Gutters® are designed to be robust and durable, ensuring they remain effective even in the most extreme weather conditions.
6. Long-Term Cost Savings: While the initial investment in larger, more efficient gutter systems like Fast Flow Gutters® might be higher than standard options, the long-term savings are significant. By preventing water-related damages such as wood rot, foundation issues, and basement flooding, homeowners save on potential repair costs.

Illinois Exterior Coating FAQs
Can rotted cedar be coated?
Rotten or unsuitable boards must be replaced first. Sound cedar then needs cleaning, moisture testing, compatible primer and the specified coating system.
Can faded aluminum siding be restored?
Often, yes. Chalk and oxidation must be fully removed, damaged areas addressed and compatible primers and finishes used for reliable adhesion.
Do you coat Hardie board, stucco and Dryvit?
Yes, when the substrate is suitable. We inspect joints, cracks, moisture paths and previous coatings before recommending preparation and a compatible system.
Do you offer roofs, floors, gutters and commercial work?
Yes. We provide qualifying roof coatings, epoxy garage and commercial floor systems, seamless gutters and downspouts, plus hotel and commercial exterior painting and coating.
